Dm A D#
It's speeding up around me, but my heart is slowing down
Dm
Until it stops
This train is off the rails, the devil's in the details
No one notices
There's bonfires in my head, there's criminals in my chairs
No one notices
I'm desperate and lonely, the hospital is empty
No one notices
F E
Chorus:
Am F
It's not enough to say I'm sorry
D
For all the pain and the worry
E
What are you waiting for? Give up on me and leave
So I saw the house is empty, the people gathered round
And spat at me
You're the family we hated, not the only one who waited
For the end
There's bonfires in my head, there's criminals in my chairs
No one notices
And I'll lead them off the edge, I'll drown them in the dead sea
Now they're noticing
Chorus.
